New Delhi: Yogesh Singh, vice chancellor of Delhi University, stated on Tuesday that applicants have been given "maximum flexibility" to exercise options for admission through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) for undergraduate programs in the disciplines of their choice.
In a statement, Singh said that over 1.4 million students had submitted for admission to 90 colleges with a variety of subject combinations. A unique schedule had been established for each applicant, taking into account a wide range of courses for all classes. The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced last week that the Common University Entrance Test for Undergraduates, or CUET-UG, will be administered from July 15 to August 10.
The National Testing Agency has around 14,90,000 applicants registered for the CUET (UG) - 2022. These applicants submitted 54,555 different combinations of subject applications to 90 universities.
"...Considering a large number of subjects for all classes, a specific date sheet has been created for each applicant. To avoid any confusion, the date of examination and advance intimation slip for the examination has already been issued to all the candidates and the provision for the same has been made on candidates' dashboard too https://cuet.samarth.ac.in/," Singh said "Maximum flexibility has been provided to the applicants to exercise the options for taking admission in the programs of their choice," Singh added.
More than 4.5 lakh admit card downloads, according to him, have already been made. Yogesh added that the publication of the city and dates serves to eliminate any ambiguity and lessen applicants' concern and anxiety.
In March, UGC Chairman Jagadesh Kumar declared that admission to 45 central universities will now require CUET results rather than class 12 grades, and that the central institutions would be free to set their own minimum eligibility standards. According to Kumar, at least 98 percent of applicants for the CUET would receive exam sites in the city of their choice.
The chief of the University Grants Commission made his remarks in response to complaints made by applicants over the late issuance of their exam admission cards. He further stated that neither the exam nor the coaching culture will be encouraged by the new approach, which will not prejudice students from state boards.
